Fellow
members and residents the NRDCAA (north Richmond and Districts Community Action
Association) started as a “one issue” group ie. The development of the former
P.A Yeomans property known as “Yobarnie” and now “Redbank”.

Our
role since then has grown, we are now approached by resident on other matters
of community concern such as:

Ratepayers
finding a very large factory style mushroom farm on their rural boundary.

Small
businesses threatened with the loss of all customer parking.

Residents
in danger of road collapse into their property.

Parking
and traffic concerns.

In
many cases we provide information as to how to object and to whom. We
arrange meetings with HCC and others- developers , RMS, state and
federal MPs.

We
write submissions on the community’s behalf.

Committee
members monitor Council business.

We
organise forums so that you can personally meet and question would be Local,
State and Federal government representatives.

Currently
we are liaising with the Better Planning Network regarding the Greater Sydney
Commission which will rewrite the planning agenda for the State.

We
attend planning workshops organised by BPN, TEC and UWS to make sure the needs
of our area are considered.

We
monitor the Redbank Creek in North Richmond so that we can alert authorities to
any pollution caused by the developer of “Redbank” or broken sewage pipes
causing leaks,

This
is all done by a small committee of volunteers. We really need your
support and input.

Are
we doing what you need us to do?

How
and what can we do better?

The
AGM will be held on Monday 21st
November at the North Richmond Community Centre , William Street, North
Richmond commencing at 7:15pm.

ALL committee
positions will be declared vacant and will need to be filled. Please consider
joining our team.

As
mentioned previously I am not standing for re-election to the position of
Secretary and Public Officer. Ideally it should be filled by someone with more
than the rudimentary computer skills that I have .

Please
set the date aside in your busy schedules and come along and contribute to your
community.
